ROSETTE.

SPECIFICATIONformi-ng part of Letters Patent No. 352,912,dated November 23, 1886.

Application filed August 11, 1886.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it knownthat I, GOTTHILF EBERHARD,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Akron, Summit county, Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Rosettes, of

which the following is a specitication.

My invention relates to an ornamental device, generally'known as 1"osette,77 and intended for harness and carriage trimmings Lo and other ornamental purposes.

verse section.

The glass setting a has a convex face, and is concave on the opposite side, which is formed with indentations a., The concave side, in-

cluding the surfaces of the indentations, has a 2o thin Iilm or coating of silver, which may be applied in solution, and after evaporation and being varnished the silver will firmly adhere c to the glass and form a permanent part Vof the setting a. In place of the silver any other z5 suitable reecting material may be applied.

The reliection from the coated indentations gives the rosette a varied and pleasing appear-A ance. Y

The holder of the glass setting a consists of 3o disk-b and ring c, with a packing, s, of cement, rubber, leather, or othersuitable material between glass c and disk b at their circumference, to firmly retain the glass setting in place.

The lower side of ring c is formed with cir- 3 5 cumferential groove c', leaving the ring sufficiently thin at the inner side, c2, of the groove to be bent under the perimeter of disk b, and sufficiently thick at the outer side, c3, to protect the inner side, c, from injury. Such pro- 4'o tection is of especial importance when ring c is of malleable cast-iron and large quantities `SerialNo. 210,618. (No model.)

of the castings are tumbled about among each other, as is customary, for the purpose of smoothing them. The Outer side, c3, also forms a protection to the under side of the rosette in use, as itprojects below the inner side, c2, when the latter has been bent under disk b.

Fig. 3 is a cross-section of one side of ring c before side c? has been bent.

In the drawings, disk bis represented as having a loop, b, by which it may be attached to a harness or other article; -but instead of the loop it may be formed with aprojecting screwnut for a carriage-prop, or with a screwthreaded shank for a picture-nail or otherpurposes.

It is not essential that loop b should be cast on disk b, but it may be attached byany wellknown means; nor need the disk be a complete circular plate, but may be formed with arms extending to ring c. 1

I claim as my inventionl. Ina rosette, a glass setting, a, having a convex face, and a concave backside formed with a reflecting-coating, substantiallyr as de\ scribed.

2.A In a rosette, a glass setting, c, having a con vi'; face, and the opposite side formed with indentations and having reflecting-coating, substantially as described.

3. A rosette having a glass-setting and a holder, c, projecting over the perimeter of the glass, and formed with a circumferentialv groove, c', in its bottom, in combination with a disk, b, formed with a loop, screw-threaded nut, a shank, or other well-known means for attachment, substantiallyas described.
